Please forgive this if it's a dupe. I'm having some trouble getting mail up to the list.<br><br>I have a Mythbox working pretty well under Mandriva 2008.1 (kernel
<a href="http://2.6.24.5">2.6.24.5</a>), but I'm stumped at getting the remote to work.
I'd like any wisdom the group may have about this. Also, based on my reading of this list, I'm wondering about the option of simply purchasing another remote and avoiding more pain. At any rate, on to my problem:<br>
<br>The remote is a USB infrared device. It looks like a black version of
the Xbox 360 remote control. It is identified here
<br>

<br>as the Phillips eHome version 2, model 1069. My hardware list in
Mandriva Control Center agrees that the receive plugged into the USB
port is the same:
<br>
<br>Identification
<br>Vendor: ýTopseed
<br>Description: ýeHome Infrared Transceiver
<br>Media class: ý
<br>Connection
<br>Bus: ýUSB
<br>Bus PCI #: ý2
<br>PCI device #: ý2
<br>Vendor ID: ý0x1784
<br>Device ID: ý0x0001
<br>Sub vendor ID: ý0x0000
<br>Sub device ID: ý0x0000
<br>Misc
<br>Module: ýlirc_mceusb2
<br>
<br>
<br>It appears to be loading up but neither the hardware list nor lsusb
actually identify the device. The hardware list puts it at the bottom
under "Unknown Others" and when expanded shows the device as "eHome
Infrared Transceiver".
<br>
<br>I've done a lot of Googling and tried a few different configs. At this
point lircd won't even start on the box. This might be because I have
things so munged up from trying to make it all work. At one point it was
starting then almost immediately dying without throwing an error.
Nothing is showing up in /var/log/lircd.

<br>I have tried various likely-looking drivers from the list in "lircd
-driver=?" but nothing worked. At one point, I was getting lircd to
start and live long enough to try to read activity with "irw", but at
this point, I'm kind of burnt on it and need some fresh ideas.
<br>
<br>And here is my /etc/sysconfig/lircd file:
<br>
<br># Customized setings for lirc daemon

<br>

<br>Any idea what I'm missing here?
<br>
<br>Can someone point me in the right direction on this?
